Man, 74, slain in daylight attack
By Canadian Press, Tues., December 18, 2007
Kitchener -- The brazen daylight slaying of a 74-year-old man
as he delivered Christmas cards was committed with an "edged
weapon," police said yesterday as neighbours paid tribute to
a man they called a friendly, peace-loving victim of a brutal
and senseless crime.
Police were searching for a man they say attacked Hunter
BROWN
just steps from his home Saturday before fleeing the scene on
foot, leaving his victim to die in a neighbour's driveway, a
pile of undelivered Christmas cards on the ground next to him.
"The fact that this kind of assault happens in any community,
and in my community now, disturbs me very greatly," Mayor Carl
ZEHR said yesterday in an interview.
"It's tragic, it's brutal, senseless and unfathomable, but it
did happen."
ZEHR, who knew
BROWN from service-club activities, described
him as a "quiet, community-minded" man. Kitchener police Insp. Bryan
LARKIN called him the "ultimate neighbourhood friendly fellow."
BROWN was found bleeding and unconscious. Doctors pronounced
him dead in hospital.
witnesses: said a man in his 20s fled the neighbourhood on foot,
clad in a black tuque and long black coat.
Police called the unprovoked attack a "tragic story."
"It was a vicious assault," police spokesperson Olaf
HEINZEL
said. "It's very disturbing for our community."
Cruisers were blocking the street and a ribbon of police tape
surrounded the homes of
BROWN and his neighbours as detectives
continued to canvass houses and businesses in the hopes of turning
up clues to the killer's identity.
"It's still a big mystery," said neighbour Matthew
ENGELMANN,
24, who arrived home Saturday to find the area swarming with
police.
"People are angry. I would not call people scared. Everybody
wants to know what happened and why."
ENGELMANN said he considered it highly unlikely that it was a
personally motivated attack on
BROWN, whom he called a "great
person."
The victim and his wife, Beverly, had lived in their two-storey
home for more than 30 years.

Neighbours mourn 'super-friendly guy'
While out delivering Christmas cards, Hunter
BROWN, 74, was killed
in apparent random attack, leaving his Friends and family in
shock
By Caroline
ALPHONSO,
Page A3
Kitchener, Ontario -- Hunter
BROWN, 74, set out on a cold Saturday
afternoon, all bundled up, on what had become his annual Christmas
ritual of hand-delivering cards to his neighbours. Recipients
would often discover a picture of his three grandchildren tucked
inside their cards.
The affluent neighbourhood in Kitchener has a mix of young families
and elderly couples who have lived there for decades. Christmas
decorations were strung along front porches and spilled onto
the front yards.
This year, however, Mr.
BROWN didn't get very far in his Christmas-card
delivery. He had just started to make his first drop-off when
a man struck him with an "edged weapon" and left him to die in
the next-door neighbour's driveway, police say. A pile of undelivered
cards was found on the ground next to him. Doctors pronounced
Mr. BROWN dead in hospital.
Police say the attack was unprovoked and are looking for a man
in his 20s who fled the quiet neighbourhood on foot wearing a
long black trench coat and a black tuque with red lines.
"It's a difficult case," said Staff Sergeant Adrian
DARMON of
the Waterloo Regional Police. "This is quite a close community."
Yellow tape surrounded the
BROWN home and neighbouring houses
yesterday as police scoured the area for clues.
Mr. BROWN and his wife, Beverley, lived in their two-storey home
for more than 30 years. A Christmas tree was lit up in the front
window last night. The killing of Mr.
BROWN, a father of two,
has shocked family and neighbours.
Mr. BROWN, a retired regional manager for Bell, was described
as a man who loved his grandchildren, and rarely missed a hockey
or football practice, or a musical recital. He spent his summers
at the family cottage in Muskoka, and had often invited neighbours
to vacation there.
He and his wife would have celebrated their 50th anniversary
in March. The couple had just started taking lessons in ballroom
dancing.
"Mom and Dad did everything together," Mr.
BROWN's son, Mike,
said yesterday. "He was elderly but in good health. We never
expected Hunter
BROWN to die this way. He was a nice man."
His sister, Sandra, added: "He was a gentle man. He just had
so much left."
Neighbour Lois
HOGG remembers Mr.
BROWN singing Christmas carols
at her home on December 8 when she and her husband invited the
neighbourhood over for a holiday celebration.
"It was a happy experience and we were so glad they were here,"
Ms. HOGG said.
Matthew ENGELMANN, 24, who lives next door to the
BROWNs, said
his kitchen counter was filled yesterday with food dropped off
by neighbours for the victim's family. Mr.
ENGELMANN saw Mr.
BROWN
as a grandfather. He and his family would spend a few days at
the BROWN cottage almost every summer.
"He was just a super-friendly guy. You couldn't leave your house
and have Hunter see you and not say 'hello' or 'hi,' " he said.
The ENGELMANN family has known Mr.
BROWN and his wife for 27 years.
Mr. ENGELMANN's father, Dieter, said he was still in disbelief
over what happened. Neighbours came out when they saw police
cruisers and an ambulance.
"It's such a sad situation. Nothing warrants this. Nothing at
all," he said. "This guy wouldn't hurt a fly."
Police said yesterday autopsy results weren't complete as yet,
but they believe a weapon with some of kind of sharp edge was
used in the attack.
Neighbours say it was unlikely that the attack was personally
motivated.
Mark MEDENSKY, who took care of the
BROWN home when the family
went on vacation, said many on the street are looking for answers.
"He was sweet, quiet. He always had something nice to say about
you. Everyone is just in shock. I'm angry about what happened."

Tiny, feisty woman big on independence
By Glynnis
MAPP,
SunMedia,Sun.,July 1, 2007
WhenAmyElizabethGRIEVE was born, doctors said she wouldn't
make it to her first birthday because of a "funny heart."
GRIEVE proved them all wrong.
Born in 1906 in Tyendinaga Township near Belleville, she lived
through the sinking of the Titanic, two World Wars, the Great
Depression and Canada's Centennial.
GRIEVE died on June 20 at the Dearness Home. She was 101.
Her family believes
GRIEVE's secret to her agility -- she walked
nearly five kilometres a day in her 80s -- and long life was
in her diet.
GRIEVE didn't smoke or eat junk food and rarely drank alcohol.
Fruits and vegetables were the mainstays of her diet. On special
occasions, she would allow herself a small glass of rye and ginger
ale.
"That was her one treat for herself. She always made sure to
eat three good meals every day and was very active mentally and
physically," said her daughter Sharon
ZEISNER.
Standing four-foot-11,
GRIEVE may have been small in stature,
but she was larger than life, relatives say.
GRIEVE was known for her gourmet cooking, a hobby she thoroughly
enjoyed. Up until she was in her 80s, she cooked a roast for
herself every Sunday and froze the leftovers.
"She was bright, vivacious and fiercely independent. She was
just a wonderful woman and a joy to be around," said her daughter
Shirleyan ENGLISH.
GRIEVE trained in North Bay to become a teacher and went on to
work at schools in northern Ontario.
One of the schools was in Tomiko, a railway stop on the line
between North Bay and Cobalt.
Elliott GRIEVE, who worked as a telegrapher at the train station,
immediately became enamoured with the "feisty" and self-sufficient
new teacher in town.
"My dad was only five-(foot)-three so they were perfect for each
other. He spotted her right away,"
ZEISNER said. "When my mom
stepped off of the train, (one of his co-workers) said to my
dad, 'That's the woman for you.' "
The couple married in 1934.
ENGLISH remembers living in a house filled with love and her
parents "making suggestions instead of arguing."
In 1956, GRIEVE's husband died and she was left to figure out
how to support her three young daughters and make ends meet on
her teacher's salary.
To make additional income,
GRIEVE invested in real estate, buying
and selling small properties for profit.
"In that day, not a lot of women were investing in real estate,"
ENGLISH said. "She was very clever. She would sell the houses
and sometimes rent them out. She could calculate monthly mortgage
payments in her head."
Even as she aged, family said
GRIEVE was "sharp as a tack," remembering
family birthdays, phone numbers of her children, eight grandchildren
and eight great-grandchildren.
In 1991, GRIEVE moved from her home in Haliburton County to London
to be closer to her three daughters.
ENGLISH said the opinionated family scion would frequently give
seasoned advice on family academic pursuits, careers and relationships.
"She was very astute and a really strong woman and led by example,"
ENGLISH said.
"She showed us we could be ourselves and be independent women,
in or out of a marriage. We could do whatever we wanted to do
in life."

Daughter strangled
Friends say Aqsa
PARVEZ clashed with her strict family.
By Rob LAMBERTI, Sun Media, Wed., December 12, 2007
Mississauga -- Muhammad
PARVEZ appears in court this morning
charged with strangling his daughter as homicide detectives continue
to look at her older brother to determine if he had a role in
the slaying.
The 57-year-old man was charged yesterday with killing 16-year-old
Aqsa PARVEZ, who Friends say rebelled against her father's religious
expectations. Aqsa died in the Hospital for Sick Children late
Monday and her mother arranged for her daughter's organs be donated.
Peel detectives charged her brother, Waqas, 26, with obstructing
police, allegedly for trying to mislead officers during their
investigation.
But police said Waqas continues to be investigated by homicide
detectives to determine if he's involved in Peel's 16th murder
of the year.
"We're now trying to determine what role or culpability he may
have had in the homicide as well," Peel police homicide Insp. Norm
ENGLISH said. "We're certainly going to be conducting further
investigations to determine if he had a role in this."
ENGLISH said the investigation is still early and whether Muhammad
is charged with first- or second-degree murder depends on witness
information and the results of a pending autopsy. Investigators
suspect the Grade 11 Applewood Heights secondary school student
was strangled.
Police were alerted to the incident when a man called police
just before 8 a.m. Monday saying he had killed his daughter at
their Longhorn Trail home.
Most students learned during the school's morning announcement
yesterday that Aqsa, who was born in Pakistan, had died.
A memorial with her photo and a book of condolences was in the
front lobby of the high school for classmates to jot down memories
or poems.
"It's just, like, really sad. Everyone was just crying," said
Grade 10 student Natalie
RANCE.
Students and Friends said Aqsa began removing her hijab when
she attended school this term after her older sister had graduated.
With no one to watch over her, she apparently felt free to dress
more casually.
Aqsa recently left the family home and moved in with a friend,
said Krista
GARBUTT.
She said the victim was quite open with
Friends about discussing the culture clash she was having with
her father, but it appears no one in authority was aware.
"I don't think so; she didn't tell a teacher," Dominiquia
HOLMES-
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON
said yesterday.
Students were sent home with letters for their parents informing
them of Aqsa's death and an outline of symptoms for depression
or stress that their kids may feel. It assured parents that counsellors
are available.
HOLMES-
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON described Aqsa as a kind person who loved to
take photos and to dance. "And all she wanted to do is to be
herself."
She said Aqsa was at a friend's place after leaving her home
around 8 p.m. Sunday.
"She was happy, she was ready to go to school, she was excited,"
HOLMES-
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON said, adding Aqsa intended on returning to the
family home to get clothes.
But HOLMES-
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON said Aqsa told her she was "scared to go
home."
"Because she didn't obey the rules…" she said.
HOLMES-
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON said her friend would arrive at school wearing
jogging pants and hijab and then change clothes, removing the
traditional headscarf.
Friend Ashley
GARBUTT, 16, said that Aqsa didn't want to wear
the hijab any more.
"Then her sister kept telling her dad that she doesn't wear it,"
she said. "She left her house twice. She left and went to her
friend's house because… she would get scared and she just didn't
want to live there anymore. She wanted to be her own person and
show her inner beauty."
GARBUTT said Aqsa went to a shelter and her father contacted
her asking her to come home because neither he nor her mother
could eat after she left the first time.
"She moved home because she felt bad, but she moved out again,"
she said.
Friends said there probably are other girls who find themselves
in a similar situation.
"They should get help soon as possible, whether it's a counsellor,"
Ebonie MITCHELL said. "Because we never knew it was that bad.
If they're in that situation, they should get help as soon as
possible."

Housekeeper's death at Mississauga mansion treated as foul play
By Omar EL
AKKAD and Jessica
RAFUSE,
PageA15The death of Jocelyn
DULNUAN, a Filipino-born, 27-year-old housekeeper
found inside a multimillion-dollar mansion on Monday, is likely
the result of foul play, Peel Regional Police say.
That sums up just about everything homicide detectives are willing
to say.
"The location was targeted for a specific reason that I am not
prepared to comment on today," Inspector Norm
ENGLISH, head of
the homicide bureau, said yesterday at a terse news conference.
"I do believe, though, that there was property taken from the
residence, however this needs to be determined after doing a
proper walk through with the homeowners," he said.
Ms. DULNUAN came to Canada last year on a work visa and worked
as a nanny in various locations across the Greater Toronto Area
before moving into the massive Mississauga home as a housekeeper,
Insp. ENGLISH said.
Both Ms. DULNUAN and the home - estimated to be worth more than
$10-million - may have been targets, he said, adding that Ms.
DULNUAN's
mother, who lives in Hong Kong, has been notified of her daughter's
death.
But as to what condition Ms.
DULNUAN's body was in, the cause
of her death, what items were taken from the home and a host
of other questions, Insp.
ENGLISH would only reply: "I'm not
prepared to discuss that."
Peel police spokesman Constable Adam
MINNION said homicide detectives
can sometimes choose to withhold information so as to not compromise
an investigation. "If [homicide detectives are] reluctant to
provide information, they must have their reasons," Constable
MINNION said. "Every situation's different. There must be something
they've seen there."
Police received a 911 call around 5 p.m. on Monday from one of
the homeowners inside the home. The homeowners, Vasdev (Dave)
CHANCHLANI and his wife
Jayshree, were not home at the time of
the incident, Constable
MINNION said.
Police have not yet publicly named any suspects.
At several Toronto churches with strong Filipino followings,
no one recognized Ms.
DULNUAN by name or photo yesterday.
She was also not registered with Intercede, a group that advocates
for the rights of domestic workers and caregivers.
"We've been getting calls all day," said counsellor Columbia
DIAZ, who is hoping to use the agency's contacts to get in touch
with Ms. DULNUAN's
Friends. "A lot of Filipina maids are worried
and want to know more, but there's not much that we know."
Ms. DIAZ said many caregivers and domestic workers prefer to
work in populated areas instead of secluded homes with limited
contact with the outside community.
Jo ACUNA, owner of Brampton-based Sunrise Placement Services,
said live-in nannies tend to apply for a work permit under the
federal live-in caregiver program.
The program stipulates that such employees must work in a private
home and be provided a private, furnished room within that home.
Ms. ACUNA said the largest portion of such workers arrive from
the Philippines, usually after first working in Hong Kong.
A representative from the Philippines consulate in Toronto said
the consulate has been in contact with Ms.
DULNUAN's mother,
who is trying to arrange the transportation of her daughter's
body back home.

Man shot in Mississauga apartment
By Bob MITCHELL,
StaffReporter
At least one gunman is being sought in connection with the slaying
of a 34-year-old man on Wednesday night in a Mississauga apartment.
Otis JOHNSON died early yesterday morning at Trillium Health
Centre. An autopsy is scheduled for today, but Peel police have
confirmed the Mississauga man was shot.
"His death is drug-related," Peel homicide Insp. Norm
ENGLISH
said. He said
JOHNSON was "well-known" to police but wouldn't
reveal the reasons, and added that the victim wasn't wanted for
anything at the time of his death.
"I have a pretty good idea of what happened,"
ENGLISH said.
The homicide was Peel Region's first of the year.
Police won't confirm where
JOHNSON was shot on his body, although
people who saw him being treated by paramedics in the lobby of
the apartment building said he had been shot in the lower back.
Emergency crews found
JOHNSON lying just inside the front entrance
of the 12-storey building, located on the southeast corner of
the Queensway and Hurontario St.
Residents said the shooting occurred inside a 12th-floor apartment.
ENGLISH confirmed
JOHNSON was shot inside a unit in the building,
but investigators were still piecing together how he managed
to get to the building's lobby.
"We're still interviewing a number of people, including people
from the apartment where the shooting occurred,"
ENGLISH said.
Police wouldn't confirm how many people were being sought or
a report that the person who lived in the unit where the shooting
occurred had just returned from a vacation.
Numerous officers spent Wednesday night and yesterday morning
canvassing the more than 300 apartments in the building, known
as the Queensway Arms, which is almost directly across the street
from the hospital.
Investigators also refused to confirm a report that a gunman
was seen fleeing the apartment by climbing into another unit
from the balcony.
Paramedics and police rushed to the apartment just before 9: 30 p.m.
on Wednesday after receiving a 911 call that a man had been shot.
Only moments earlier, another 911 call reported a break and enter
in the apartment, police sources said.
